NTT DATA, a global leader in digital business and IT services, has announced an expanded partnership with Palo Alto Networks to enhance cybersecurity for global enterprises. Both companies have significant operations in London, with offices that serve as a hub for European operations, but Palo Alto Networks also has a London-based team of cybersecurity experts providing solutions to businesses across the UK.

The collaboration introduces NTT DATA’s Managed Extended Detection Response (MXDR) service, which leverages AI and machine learning to provide continuous threat monitoring, detection and rapid response capabilities. By integrating with Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSIAM, the industry-leading security operations centre platform, the MXDR service offers enhanced visibility across networks, edge and cloud environments.

Sheetal Mehta, Global Head of Cybersecurity, NTT DATA, said: “Many organizations rely on fragmented security systems, making it harder to detect advanced threats and react quickly. By partnering with Palo Alto Networks, we’re delivering a unified solution that strengthens cyber resilience, streamlines security operations and improves overall agility.”

This strategic partnership empowers organisations to strengthen their cyber resilience by integrating innovative technologies and global security expertise. By streamlining operations and accelerating incident response, clients can mitigate the risk of sophisticated cyber threats.

Kristy Friedrichs, Chief Partnerships Officer, Palo Alto Networks, concluded: “Organisations today are facing an unprecedented volume of sophisticated cyber threats, across their entire operations. With NTT DATA, we are helping organizations transform their SOC through platformisation with XSIAM and expert services, delivering a unified solution that ensures customers can modernise and protect their operations with confidence.”
